St. Mary’s County, MD – There are numerous ways to positively impact our beloved river from collecting trash to arresting rainwater runoff before it reaches the river. A rain garden is the perfect opportunity to make a difference.

This natural water filtration system is not only aesthetically appealing, but also a big help in reducing runoff by catching storm water from your roof and/or driveway and filtering it through plant use and organic materials. And best of allโ€”we have grant funding to assist you in designing and building your dream rain garden!

You must be within our watershed to qualify for our 50/50 cost share program. If you are interested, are unsure about your location qualifications, or have questions concerning a rain garden, please contact Meghan Webster by email, meghan.m.webster@gmail.com, or by phone, 240-256-0147.
